HITMAN 3 - Bug Report Thread

Found some more bugs to squash.
Platform: Xbox One

Rubber 47
Location: Whittleton Creek
Frequency: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Start any level in Whittleton Creek. Bring the remote micro taser.
  2. Conceal the micro taser in a mailbox.
  3. Activate the Taser.
  4. Retrieve the Taser.
  5. 47 is immune to the taser, despite the activated tool showing electrical effects.

I have yet to check if interactions will water change with the taser. But I expect 47 would still die if he dropped it into a puddle or something similar.

Updated.
Fixed in the December 1, 2025 update.

While there are still some discrepancies in the chronological order when viewed by year,
you can now trace back to the February 2021 patch notes.
Personally, I think the year should be added to the date field in the patch notes.

Great, the patch notes are back so I can view them again.
However, this time I can’t see anything from before last year.
For now, I’ll settle for being able to look up what I want to know.

Update.
Past patch notes seem to be gradually returning as well.
If we wait a while longer, we might be able to see all the patch notes again.

Oh, that’s right.
This is very useful information.
Well, it seems patch notes from before 2022 are still unavailable,
so when io.dk is down, I’ll just check the forum threads.

Platform:

Location:
Freelancer

Description:
This is an old issue that hasn’t been fixed since Freelancer’s initial implementation, but the information and specifications for the “SIEGER 300” are incorrect.

First, the “Marksman” and “Suppressor” icons are missing.
Additionally, the “SIEGER 300” in the campaign has 3x zoom, but the “SIEGER 300” in Freelancer only has up to 2x zoom, differing in specifications.
Furthermore, the “SIEGER 300” in the campaign assembles and stows smoothly without delay when stored in the briefcase, but the “SIEGER 300” in Freelancer takes time to assemble and stow.

If this is intended as a special specification for the “SIEGER 300” in Freelancer, wouldn’t this discrepancy in specifications compared to the Campaign version, which other weapons don’t have, cause confusion?
If altering specifications is acceptable,
then icons for the “Marksman,” “Suppressor,” and 2x zoom “Variable Scope” should be displayed to reflect reality. The name should be changed to something like “SIEGER 300 (Freelancer),” and a clear explanation should be added stating that it takes time to stow.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start Freelancer mode.
  2. Obtain the “SIEGER 300” and view its info.
  3. The weapon has no optional icons.

Frequency:
Always

I do wonder if it might be intentional.
But I also question whether it was really necessary to deliberately alter the Sieger 300’s original performance when other items with the same or similar capabilities, like the “JAEGER 7” or “BARTOLI WOODSMAN HUNTING RIFLE,” already exist.
That’s why I’m reporting it as a bug for now.

Platform: PC, Steam

  2. Start Sapienza, Landslide mission

LEGENDARY SNIPER RIFLE VANISHED AFTER EXTRACTING IN FREELANCER

PSVR2 - PS5

MENDOZA, AFTER EXTRACTING WITH SUITCASE IN HAND, MY LEGENDARY RIFLE IS GONE FROM HIDEOUT AND INVENTORY

Absolutely unacceptable for something like this to be happening MONTHS into VR release. There are so many other bugs but nothing as game breaking as this. What’s the point of playing if your shit disappears suddenly and the devs don’t seem to be interested in even looking at your version of the game more than once a year?

Uninstalling and never touching a Hitman game unless my shits restored, don’t have time to waste on a broken game with incompetent devs

Why has this benchtop been turned into a pool?

Always were. I am not sure what the purpose is, I assume to keep the dishes warm.

Must’ve always been wrong then - because why else would there be cupboard doors (which aren’t there on the other side)?

No idea. If there were maintenance stuff behind them you would still put those behind less accessible panels to only have tech people open them.

It also makes no sense these pools are that deep to keep dishes on the surface warm.
Maybe this is an open kitchen that is not supposed to be super practical and instead just fancy.

Location:
Miami (Santa Fortuna and Mumbai too?)

Description:
After mission restarting 2-3 times or more in Miami, the app crashes with high probability during the mission start loading screen.
This occurred with reasonable frequency on PS, XBOX, and Steam.
It’s likely to occur easily on other platforms as well.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the Miami mission.
  2. Perform several restarts.
  3. The app occasionally crashes.

Frequency:
Occasionally. However, the frequency is relatively high.

videos or images:
None. (Could not capture video due to the app crashing.)

There is a rather odd trespassing zone that is only a few game meters wide in this spot outside Yates’s villa when in the waiter disguise.

It is impossible to leave the facility wearing the Facility Analyst suit (game crashes every time). For 5 years this severe bug hasn’t been fixed, is it even possible to fix it?

Platform: Steam Digital.

Location: Title Screen

Description: I am entirely unable to connect to the online servers. every time I connect the game produces a Connection Failed error box with the reason given being ‘Failed to fetch version information’. I can play in offline mode, but thats about it.

I’ve tried all the obvious stuff, router resets, verifying integraty, un/reinstalling the game, turning off firewalls/antiviruses, checking to see if the servers were down, looking up a solution (and finding only posts from 2021 that were fixed with a patch), deleting the save folder in %appdata, messeging support, installing Peacock, asking Peacock support why that isnt working (turns out it doesnt work unless you’ve connected once.)

and I’m at my wits end. Any ideas at all on how to get it going?

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the game

  2. Press Enter.

  3. The error messege appears

Frequency: This has happened every time I’ve launched the game since I bought it. last night on the sale. I have not once been able to sign in to the game.

Difficult to say with those useless error messages from the game. Maybe try to connect with a VPN choosing a server located far from your actual location ? Maybe there is an issue with Azure services in your region ?

Did you try to reboot the Steam client?
Sometimes this happens if Steam works not as it should.
Usually rebooting Steam solves the issue.
Sometimes helps to reboot the PC itself.
You may also try relogin into Steam by logging out of your account in Steam app and logging in back again. I would also try reinstalling it as well.
Maybe your router/ISP blocks the game servers, hence the game can’t connect to servers.
You may need to contact the ISP and speak with them about this occasion.
Also have a look into hosts file for any suspicious lines
